Medical change DVLA and Car Insurance - declare or not to declare

Pinkpyjama

Hi, a recent ECG revealed a (thankfully) benign heart irregularity (incomplete right bundle branch block in case anyone's interested!) I asked the Cardiologist whether (in his experience) this needs declaring to DVLA to which he was quick to reassure not. I have looked at DVLA's website and there is no mention of ICRBBB but there is mention to a similar (more significant) related condition. For this, DVLA state there is no need to tell them.
I have spent a wee while looking at where this may lead to car insurance companies needing to know and (annoyingly) there's little to no direct reference. All I have found is that it seems they (insurance company) only require to be told if DVLA need to know.
Not sure if anyone out there has had similar experience?
I am assuming in this case I should just carry on with my life and worry no further.

My son has CCHB and he does not have to declare it to DVLA. However he would have to if he wanted to drive a Class 2 vehicle.

Thanks for this. Noted and kindof confirms my take on the matter. 
What was noted on my tests is that this is benign and something that's just there and with no symptoms, just move on until such a time where this may change.

I had AfiB - insurance company just noted it. made no difference to premiums etc

Thanks - that would make sense as I read the other day they're not allowed to increase premiums in such circumstances but can cancel any policy if something occurred as a result of a known condition (and one hadn't informed the insurance company)
In my case however, I'm completely asymptomatic so guess I've got to have a think what is the best way forward.
